Anyone else having problems with option gameplanning not working?

Don't play man. Play cover 2 and control the Corners.

Until EA can program assignment football (which is how Notre Dame "tried" to defend Navy's triple option) we cannot control much on defending the option.

Ideally we would be able to choose who has QB, FB, Pitch Man.....assignment football.

If you're blitzing your LB's you need to manually move them around or else the'll get sucked into the line, and on outside runs that will kill you. If your safeties are in a deep zone get them out of that, hot route them to blitz or QB spy. Honestly I rarely bother with gameplanning. I find hot routing and moving players around to confuse the opponent, and disrupt the CPU AI, to be the most effective strategy.
